Limi, the Land In-Between: The Art of Governing a Buddhist Frontier Community in the Himalaya: Inner Asia Book Series, cartea 17

Autor Astrid Hovden
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 dec 2024
This book examines the art of governing a Himalayan frontier community through local institutions and customary law in the context of extensive socio-economic and political change. Limi, the Land in-between discusses the roles of the village assembly and the Buddhist monastery in local governance and details the monastery's functions as a ritual provider, tax collector, and its contribution to environmental management and conflict resolution. Adopting a longitudinal perspective, the author explores how the villagers adapt to shifting Nepali administrative reforms and navigate the dilemmas arising with increasing outmigration as well as other transformations within the broader regional and global context.
